Carlos Alcaraz gave us an early look at the Travis Scott x Cactus Jack x Nike Zoom Vapor 12 HC “Pale Ivory/Cacao Wow” while playing at the US Open. The upcoming tennis shoe was spotted on court during the tournament, giving fans their best look at the collaboration so far.

The tennis shoe keeps the color palette fairly quiet, using a creamy Pale Ivory base with brown Cacao Wow accents throughout. Travis Scott’s familiar reverse Swoosh appears along the lateral side, giving the performance model an immediate Cactus Jack connection without changing the overall look too much.

Alcaraz wore the pair on court at Arthur Ashe Stadium, putting the unreleased colorway in front of a much bigger audience. Nike has also started teasing the collaboration through a new campaign narrated by Travis Scott, which includes the Zoom Vapor 12 alongside matching gradient-style apparel.

The shoe is part of a wider push into performance footwear for Travis Scott and Nike. While most of their recent work has centered around lifestyle releases and Scott’s signature models, the Zoom Vapor 12 brings his design language into tennis. Travis was also recently seen wearing the upcoming Air Force 1 “Ice Blue”, another pair that was previewed alongside the Vapor 12 earlier this summer.

The Travis Scott x Cactus Jack x Nike Zoom Vapor 12 HC “Pale Ivory/Cacao Wow” is expected to release during Fall 2026 in men’s sizing for $170. With the US Open currently underway, a September launch would line up with the tournament, although an exact release date has yet to be announced.
